White Eagle's Touch, July 12 2000
By David Ziff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Eagle's Touch (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a brilliant book, well written and expertly plotted with in-depth characterizations. The relatonship between the white protagonist and the Indian hero is beautifully orchestrated. As Katrina is exposed to and learns about the culture of the Blackfoot Indians so does the reader. This book helped to remove a veil of ignorance I had regarding our native American heritage. That alone makes it a great read. It is also a mystery, not a who done it type, but involving how the conflict of cultures is going to be resolved on a personal basis. To my surprise, I found much of my own life mirrored in this book as we all run into conflicts regarding "now I'm supposed to" and what we really want to do in our hearts. You'll learn more about yourself through White Eagle's Touch.

4.0 out of 5 stars
From spoiled and pampered brat to warrior!, April 14 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Eagle's Touch (Mass Market Paperback)
Katrina Wellington wanted to marry a marquess, but needed the approval of her uncle, since she was not of age to receive her inheritance. The uncle insisted she and her fiance must travel to the Northwest Territory to meet him first. They agreed. White Eagle joined them for the end of the journey. Sparkes immediately blazed between Katrina and White Eagle. Katrina was known as Shines Like Moonlight until age five. At that age, her parents were killed in a flood and the uncle sent Katrina to New York as her father had wished.
Moonlight had returned as a spoiled, pampered, determined, brave, and passionate woman. White Eagle set out to claim her for his own. First there was the marquess to deal with. Then they must rescue the uncle from another tribe.
***Ahhh, very romantic! Oh, how I enjoyed watching Moonlight and White Eagle go head-to-head. (I have hope that the maid, Rebecca, will receive her own story.) Very entertaining and good plot.***

4.0 out of 5 stars
3.5 stars- -good characters and atmosphere; stilted dialogue., May 3 2007
By cjking - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Eagle's Touch (Mass Market Paperback)
The first 100 pages of the book had me worried. The prose is not always engaging, and the dialogue can be excruciatingly repetitive: "Come." "No." "Come on." "I won't." "Come with me." "I refuse." ....AAARGH! I suppose that the characters' stubbornness is meant to be charming, but I just found that it made the story drag.
Fortunately, the book is saved by its charming hero. I had gotten so used to misogynistic alpha male heroes that I forgot that there was any other kind! White Eagle is so sweet and loving and loyal that you can't help but sigh. The fact that the romance between hero and heroine started in their childhood made it feel all the more genuine.
The setting of the story is also rich with Blackfoot culture. If you're looking for a story in a Native American/frontier setting and you like your heroes sweet and romantic, then this is for you.
Listmania!
